What is Shockwave Therapy?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-surgical treatment and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within a damaged tendon or ligament.
Shockwave Therapy is an extremely effective way of treating conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, Shoulder pain, Rotator Cuff Injuries, Tennis elbow, Achilles tendonopathy, Trochanteric bursitis, as well as many other stubborn conditions.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon. This increases the blood flow within the affected area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing and decreasing local factors that can cause pain.
Following a thorough verbal and physical assessment, your therapist will discuss whether ESWT may be beneficial for you. Shockwave Therapy can be particularly successful in cases where injuries have failed to respond to other forms of musculoskeletal therapy or more conservative treatments.
